SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    In accordance with section 51.118 of title 10 of the Code of 
Federal Regulations (10 CFR), the NRC is making available final 
Supplement 5, Second Renewal to NUREG-1437, regarding the renewal of 
Florida Power and Light Company's operating licenses DPR-31 and DPR-41 
for an additional 20 years of operation for Turkey Point Nuclear 
Generating Unit Nos. 3 and 4. A Notice of Availability of Draft 
Supplement 5, Second Renewal to NUREG-1437 was published in the Federal 
Register on April 5, 2019 (84 FR 13662), by the Environmental 
Protection Agency. The public comment period on draft Supplement 5, 
Second Renewal to NUREG-1437 ended on May 20, 2019, and the comments 
received are addressed in final Supplement 5, Second Renewal to NUREG-
1437.

II. Discussion

    As discussed in Chapter 5 of final Supplement 5, Second Renewal to 
NUREG-1437, the NRC staff determined that the adverse environmental 
impacts of subsequent license renewal for Turkey Point are not so great 
that preserving the option of subsequent license renewal for energy-
planning decisionmakers would be unreasonable. This recommendation is 
based on: (1) The analysis and findings in the GEIS; (2) information 
provided in the environmental report and other documents submitted by 
Florida Power and Light; (3) consultation with Federal, State, local, 
and Tribal agencies; (4) the NRC staff's independent environmental 
review; and (5) consideration of public comments received during the 
scoping process and on the Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact 
Statement.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 25th day of October, 2019.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
